Hey ProductHunt community, Udit here 👋 Be it my personal or professional life, I have faced challenges working out with people. I am 21, and since past 5 years, I was coding and building stuffs. I have had a lot of failed startups and a few micro successes like Aentor, Bully AI and Sttabot. However, for all of the time, I was the guy handling everything - right from coding the platform to managing the users. It was not like I didn't wanted to build a team and scale it, but more likely a result of bad outcomes of risks I took in past. Even for building Sttabot (which 12,000+ teams use globally), I have just 1-2 interns whom I talk with not more than once a week. And this is a reason why I sucked at managing my own product's community. Talking with people and engaging in conversations is not something I am good at. (Maybe, that's the reason why my girlfriend also left me in the beginning of this year). Now, if one is providing a service, it is his responsibility to also provide support to the users. And if he can not find a community manager which matching synergies, it ultimately becomes his sole responsibility to reply and talk to the users. But then, who will do the development? And research? And growth? Luckily, the platform I built is all about AI development and infrastructure so I had to just think about a way in which AI can solve this issue. And ser, that led to the foundation of Sttabot Bots. You see, if you can build a generative AI-powered bot and find a way to add it to all the Discord and Telegram groups that you use for discussions about your product, YOU WIN. And support was just something I faced, different businesses and professionals can scale this to so many different use cases. Enterprises can use this for upselling products within the community, marketers can fine-tune the bots and sell the access to individuals, users can create an AI-version of themselves to be accessible 24x7. The possibilities are absolutely infinite. However, it is not that simple! Here's some of the major problems that needs solving - 1. Running cost of generative AI sucks. 2. Templated bots are very restrictive and limited. 3. You have to build and customise the bots. 4. Hiring someone for developing bots sucks. 5. What if there's an error? Who will fix it? So, I started working on this and built (Sttabot) Bots which is a no-code way to build bots which can be integrated with your Discord and Telegram groups and uses generative AI and your data to reply to queries. Sttabot is one single platform to develop, debug and scale generative AI powered Telegram bots that does not uses logics but the knowledge from generative AI to provide support, escalation and moderation into your communities. This is a mind-blowing way of using generative AI and community apps like Discord & Telegram. The best is that the whole application works on Sttabot's Open-source AI API (still under testing) which gives you an alternate way to use GPT3 like efficiency for free for testing & development. The most interesting part is that, unlike any existing Telegram bots which uses logic to make decisions, Sttabot Bots uses pure generative AI to make decision to provide support, escalate them or perform moderation check. The Bots builder comes pre-integrated with a 'Debugger' which is like testing engineer in your team. You can fetch him the backend code and it fix it for you. No extra BS. The most exciting part is that you can get started and build your bots for absolutely free (no credit card or payment required). And I literally can't wait to see your 1st Telegram bot powered by Sttabot's generative AI. This is something I made at the first place to fix a problem I needed to solve desperately. And now, I have scaled it to so you can also use it. PS : The whole Sttabot platform is just me and a few college students who took 12-hour a day labor in the name of internship. So, you should appreciate this launch. The idea of this product was earlier formed by our intern DHRUV KABRA so little appreciations to him too. Wait.. wait.. if you want to use Bots, here's the link to access it : https://sttabot.io/bots (thank me later). Hit me at uditakhouri@sttabot.io if you need any help or want to invest in this awesome product used by 12,000+ teams including Revscale, Columbia Uni, and more top tier clients.

Hi Udit, I have no direct feedback yet (have not had the chance to fully test so far), but: I really like the personal and authentic background story that made you launch this. I wish you good luck and resilience building this project! Also kudos to Dhruv.

Wow this is so cool! Love how you can even deploy in Google Colab. Also the product video is super clean. Can I ask what you used to make it?

I'll continue coding my own personal bots, thanks anyways.
